Just go to ultrasuede.com and fill out the application there...

It's pretty interesting to find the form though.

Have to tell them you're a company and shit.

Just leave Tax ID blank... blah blah blah.

I've written footbag in there. You just got to make it sound legit like Brinard said.

like. hi< bryce ledner < company: GAEA footbags < my adress < the swatches i want; we use many assorted fabrics to make high quality footbags that of which are sold and bought at a higher retail price. i would like samples as to see whether or not this ultrasuede is usable for making footbags.

We use many assorted fabrics to make high quality footbags that of which are sold and bought at a higher retail price. Making footbags requires high quality material taht must be able to withstand the daily conditions taht the footbag is made for. By testing different kinds of ultrasuede i can determine which kind is best for my product before making a difinite commitment. I would like samples as to see whether or not this ultrasuede is usable for making footbags. I plan on investing in this company as it seems very profitable and helpful for my cause.

and that's what i probably would put down

Tell them you make clothes.

It'll work better, I think.

It's good to get free samples, but I don't like the prospect of abusing this policy. Especially if you're using free facile to sell bags. When it comes down to your 6th or 7th set, it's ideal just to buy 1/8 of yard from Field's Fabric.

Agrees. I ordered 1 set of swatches from Toray, because I was interested in some colors.
I'm not telling you what to do, I am just warning you that the more this happens, most likely the less they will send out.
I see it as a good option for those wanting to know some colors, but just order from Field's you don't want to hurt the Toray people.

Yeah, they send you some great colors, I love the tabasco........

I'm thinking about getting a whole yard of Amatista once I can get some cash flow going. They don't have that color in Field's Fabric, but they do in Baer Fabrics. They don't go lower than a yard, and it's about $40 per one yard plus shipping.

Maybe we can start a pool around here for specific colors that aren't sold in Field's, or maybe I or anyone else can buy a whole yard and equally distribute it. Sounds like a good idea.

that sounds like an awesome idea. the lavender on baer fabrics looks awesome.

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 03 Aug 2006 12:55

id buy some amistata.

the thing is about swatches, you only get enough for about 1 footbag per 2 swatches.

also, i wouldnt do this just to get some facile. only to expierement with new colors and quality. (thats why i dont offer special colors unless asked to)

shred villain · Post by **shred villain** » 03 Aug 2006 13:14

how big are your pattern templates brinard? with one of their bigger swatches i can get a full bag out of 1 swatch.

Dear Roy,
There is a 5 yard minimum on the special order page as these are colors we do not usually stock. It is possible that we have some of a couple colors on this page from special orders that did not take the full 11 yard bolt. The page with 4 colors on it has colors that we have had in stock. When they are gone,we will probably not order them again. There is a 1/2 yard minimum order on these 4 colors.
Sincerely,
Connie, mail order dept.

I posted this a while back, after I e-mailed Baer Fabrics. You wouldn't be buying 1 yard of a color, you would be buying 5. For Amatista and the colors on that page at least.
For Fruit punch, Graphite, Tulip, and Mostaza it is 1/2 yard.
